A 78-Year-Old Woman with Fecaloid Vaginal Discharge
Journal Title: Archives of Academic Emergency Medicine - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 4
Abstract
A 78-year-old woman with a history of colon cancer with metastasis to the liver was presented to our emergency department because of bilateral groin pain and difficulty in walking, which had gradually increased during the pre-vious 5 days. The pain was of sudden onset, radiating to the back, without aggravating or relieving factors. It was associated with constipation, dysuria and vaginal dis-charge. She reported passing fecal matter from the vagina one month ago. On physical examination, she appeared malnourished. Her blood pressure was 98/65 mmHg, with a 108 beats/min heart rate and 28 breaths/min res-piratory rate.
